Minneapolis: -- The Hennepin
County Bar Association’s Diversity Committee is now accepting nominations for
the 2014 Legal Employer and Individual Diversity Awards. The HCBA and the Diversity Committee are
committed to increasing diversity and inclusion within Hennepin County’s legal
community and are pursuing that objective with increased energy and emphasis. These awards are designed to recognize the substantial
and long-term contributions of a legal employer, an attorney, and a
non-attorney to the goals of diversity and inclusion, civil rights, civil
liberties, or human rights in the legal profession within Hennepin County.

For the first time
this year, the HCBA will offer an individual award to non-attorneys. Individuals who are associated with private
firms, the government, academia, the judiciary, non-profit organizations and
other aspects of the legal profession are eligible.

These diversity
awards, along with HCBA awards recognizing professionalism and a non-attorney’s
contribution to access to justice, will be presented at the annual meeting of
the association on May 20.

All nominations are
welcome. Nomination forms and additional
information are available from the HCBA by telephone (612-752-6600), by email (jim@hcba.org), or through the HCBA’s website http://www.hcba.org.

8,000 area attorneys with a wide variety of services for the community and the
profession. The HCBA is the largest district bar association in Minnesota.
